What we know:
Aly supposedly left Yuba City at around 11 PM Thursday night, according to her friends she was visiting, and her truck arrived in Live Oak on the levee at 10:55, we know from a local farmer's security cam.
Whoever left her truck in the orchard either had someone pick her/him up or he/she walked out of there, and we know only one set of footprints exited the truck, according to the cops.
Someone had her phone until Sunday morning when it pinged at 4:30 AM near YC Walmart, afterwards, someone took her phone to Live Oak and dumped it somewhere near an orchard off Pennington road by Monday, when it was found by a local.
Here's my theories:
Either the friend she visited knows more than we know ..
or she met up with someone immediately after leaving, they quickly took her truck to the orchard and then picked up the truck driver on Pennington road.
She could have went willingly as Dak suggested or she could have been subdued and bound, one person could drive her truck and another person drive their vehicle to pick the truck driver up on Pennington road.
I suspect they picked up the truck driver on Pennington road and didn't go the same route as the truck or their vehicle would have been on the farmer's security cam too.
Either way, they were out of there fast, with Aly (and her cell phone).
My other theory is that everyone is honest and truthful and like Aly's ex said, she was a "free spirit" that would totally drive on a levee alone at night just to get away and think, maybe drink a beer or smoke a joint..she then walked to the river and the bank crumbled and she fell in a swift current and washed away, but no.
This innocent theory doesn't hold up, because the cell phone.
The cellphone being taken to the truck after the fact is the most damning evidence of all, that was a dumb move by someone.
This reminds me of the criminal justice student in NYC, Imette St. Guillen, she was drunk and abducted by a bouncer, Darryl Littlejohn, from a bar he worked at in Manhattan. It took awhile but cell phone forensics off the bouncers phone led them to her body in the swamps off of Queens.
I hoping tracking her phone GPS history (and finding any other phones that were with her phone) will connect the cops with whomever "disappeared" Aly soon.
